Description:
------------
PHP Hangs when using custom error handler and typehinting.

I've minimised it into a small reproduceable case, see below.

It hangs on both my OSX with my brew 7.0.5 installation, as well as in my ubuntu VM running 7.0.4-7+deb.sury.org~trusty+2.


Strace:

```
vagrant@dev:/tmp$ strace php test.php
[..]

Notice that nothing happens, it just hangs, and I ctrl-c out of it 40 seconds later.

Interesting/important note: if you remove the typehints (so run it like: 'public function undefinedConst($score, $scale) { [..] }' the script works as expected and does _not_ hang.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
set_error_handler(
    function($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
        throw new Exception("My custom error");
    }
);

class Foo {
    public function undefinedConst(int $score, int $scale) {
        return $scale !== self::UNDEFINED_CONST;
    }

    public function missingParam(int $score, int $scale) {
        return undefinedMethod();
    }
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->undefinedConst('7,2', 2); # this hangs
$foo->missingParam('7,2', 2); # and this as well


Expected result:
----------------
An exception being thrown.

Actual result:
--------------
The PHP process hangs with unable to allocate memory.

I forgot to mention another important note:

If you change the parameter '7,2' to '7.2' (comma to dot) it also works as expected.
